[Bug 1236951] Re: package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Got around my foul up in a REALLY ugly manner.
started with a couple iterations of :
dpkg -l | grep texlive | awk '{print $2}' | sort | xargs dpkg -r
this cleared out a lot of the easy to hit cruft with no dependency
issues.
Then I finished off by hitting what i could with specific called out
dependencies listed as well. Ended up with a short set of packages that
COULD NOT BE REMOVED.
I think I spotted a circular dependency in texlive / latex:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/116132/
would not be the first time ubuntu has fucked up and let one of those
into their mainline.
Anyway I ended up hitting all four of those with a scary ass
dpkg --force-depends -P for the four of those packages.
That left me ready to resume with an apt-get -f install

Update from 13.10 to 14.04 caused me this problem too: the upgrade failed to install tex-common and emacsen-common and reinstalling did not work. Combining the comments above with instructions on http://tug.org/texlive/ this is what worked for me. If someone can say how this should really be done, I'd be happy to see it. 1. Uninstall everything to do with emacs and xemacs (I used synaptic package manager, to find what to remove and to completely remove) 2. Uninstall tex-common and all texlive-* files and sudo rm -rf /etc/texmf as in comment 12 above. 3. Remove all texlive files (if any) e.g. sudo rm -rf /usr/local/texlive/2014 rm -rf ~/.texlive2014 4. Install emacs24 then auctex using synaptic package manager 5. Install tex-common using synaptic package manager 6. Install texlive following the instructions on http://tug.org/texlive/ (Installation from dpkg or Ubuntu software centre or synaptic package manager don't work for me.) 7. Add paths to /etc/environment as suggested by the installation program in 6. That is, for the version I installed, to the end of the PATH line add :/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux just before the closing and add 2 new lines INFOPATH=:/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/doc/info MANPATH=:/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/doc/man (without the colon, the manpath to everything except tex will be broken) 8. Edit /etc/manpath.config by adding line MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux /usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/doc/man after the last MANPATH_MAP line that already exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236951 Title: package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/1236951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

still installed OK, but the OLD texlive-binaries containing updmap-sys is
already removed??? Though I would have thought the earlier conditional if

base or for context?? Does this stanza perhaps also trigger updmap?

I experienced the same updating from 13.04 to 13.10 but it just put up an error message that the package install had failed. I clicked OK and the update continued, although it spat out a few more errors at the end. The system works, everything seems to have been upgraded OK, including TeX, which appears to work correctly (modulo the apparent continued presence of hal). I ran apt-get autoremove as usual after an update and it got rid of a bunch of outdated stuff, but because that included a couple of old LaTeX packages, it triggered tex-common to remake the indexes and generate fresh formats. This wasn't a show-stopper, and in any case I am not updating production machines away from LTS yet. I know the Ubuntu and TeX devs are overstretched, but if there is anything a regular user like me can do to help, shout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236951 Title: package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/1236951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, When can it be expected that this bug will be reacted upon for a fix or resolution? Is there already a workaround to use tex-common or TexLive distro on Ubuntu 13.10? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236951 Title: package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/1236951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
